The internet is exploding this week with chatter about new Jessica Simpson "fat" photos (see the pics below). Heck, I even debated it with my husband this morning (who in case you are interested thinks she looks chunky). Is it really that slow of a news week that this is "the" water cooler conversation? Guess so, so I might as well weigh in (pun intended).

Jessica Simpson is not fat. She is a naturally curvy girl who has to literally work her butt off to get in the kind of shape we expect from celebs when she is out promoting a new album, shooting a video etc. When she is not doing those things and starving herself/training like a mad woman she gets curvy.

What Jessica Simpson should have learned a year ago though is that high-waisted jeans are not a good look for her when she is in a curvier phase.

Evidence below:

What do these photos have in common? Same TERRIBLE jeans. Just as I know that I CANNOT wear skinny jeans, Jessica needs to learn her lesson on high-waisted denim.
